1.3 Warnings and precautions
The following warnings and precautions
must be observed to safeguard the safe
use of the coffee making machine:
WARNINGS
∆Never immerse the machine in water.
∆Remain in the vicinity of the machine
during maintenance activities, such as
descaling.
∆Ensure the flex does not touch the
heating plate.
∆The machine must always be
connected to the electrical mains so
that all wires are easy to separate from
the mains.
∆The manufacturer accepts no liability
for damage resulting from installation,
use or maintenance activities that are
not described in these operating
instructions.
∆Some parts of the equipment will
become very hot during use.
PRECAUTIONS
•If the equipment is not used for a long
period, it is recommended to
disconnect it from the mains.
•It is normal for some water to remain in
the machine. This should be taken into
account if the machine is moved to a
location where the temperature may
fall below 0 °C.
•If all the water has been removed from
the machine, the instructions for
"Installation and operation" should be
carried out again.
•If you use a strong cleaner or descaler,
it is highly recommended to wear
safety goggles (face protection) and
gloves.
•Avoid spilling any descaling solution on
the outside of the machine since this
may result in permanent damage to
the housing. However, should descaler
come into contact with the outside of
the machine, this must be removed as
quickly as possible by observing the
safety precautions described in these
operating instructions. The point of
contact must immediately be cleaned
thoroughly.
•Always wash your hands after using a
strong cleaner or descaler.
•Have all repair work carried out by a
specialist service engineer.
•In the case of repair and/or
maintenance activities in which the
machine must be opened, all wires
including the earth wire must be
disconnected from the mains.
•The machine must have an earth
connection.
•Always use approved materials and
components during installation.
•During the installation activities, always
observe local regulations and
standards.

1.5 Installation and operation
1. Place the machine on the work
surface.
2. Check whether the machine is
positioned steady and horizontally.
3. Check whether a free wall socket is
available.
4. Slide an empty filter pan (5) into
position and place an empty decanter
(4) beneath it. Attention!
−The lid of the vacuum flask or
airpot must be opened for the TH
model.
−Keep the mixing tube in the flask
when using an airpot.
5. Empty a decanter or measuring jug
(TH model) of cold water in the cold
water reservoir (8).
6. Wait for 3 minutes. (The water forces
all the air out of the machine.)
7. Set all switches (1, and if present
also 2) to the off position 0.
8. Put the plug in the wall socket.
9. Switch the machine on by setting the
switch (1) to the on position 1.
The green indication lamp (10) lights
up and some of the water that has
been poured in will run into the
decanter.
10. Empty the decanter when the green
light (10) is extinguished.
The machine is now ready for use
Remarks
1. Some water will always remain in the
machine, its hoses, element etc. This
must be taken into account when:
−moving the machine;
−the machine is situated in a room
where the temperature falls below
zero.
2. If for any reason no water is left in the
machine, you must repeat the above
procedure (from step 4 to 10).
WARNING
Ensure the flex does not touch
the heating plate.

1.6 Usage
BREWING COFFEE
1. Before using the machine, check
whether the spring in the filter pan (5)
is positioned correctly (the spring
must lie flat on the bottom of the filter
pan).
2. Place a paper filter (6) in the filter
pan.
3. Put the required amount of coffee in
the filter (see § 1.4 RECOMMENDED
AMOUNTS OF COFFEE.
4. The enclosed measuring spoon filled
with a level amount of coffee contains
approx. 40 grammes.
5. Slide the filter pan (5) into the
machine.
6. Check whether the machine is
switched off. If not, switch the
machine off by setting switch (1) to
the off position 0.
7. Empty a decanter or measuring jug
(TH model) of cold water into the cold
water reservoir (8).
8. Then place the decanter beneath the
filter pan.
−Ensure that the lid of
the glass decanter is in
the down position.
−The lid of the vacuum
flask or airpot on the
other hand must be in
the up position.
−Keep the mixing tube
in the flask when using
an airpot.
9. Set switch (1) in the on position.
10. The indication lamp (10) lights up
and the coffee making starts.
11. When the coffee making cycle has
finished, the indication lamp (10) will
go out and an acoustic signal will
sound three times to indicate that the
coffee can be poured.
12. Using the model with glass decanters
and more than one heating plate, it is
possible to place a decanter filled
with coffee on another heating plate
and immediately brew another
decanter by observing the above
procedure.
13. Switch on the heating plate by setting
the switch (2) to the on position. The
heating plate will remain switched on,
even if the rest of the system is
switched off. Reset the switch to the
off position, when the extra heating
plate is no longer in use.
BREWING TEA
The machine can also be used to make
tea. The system is the same as for
brewing coffee except that, instead of
using coffee filters and coffee, you place
loose tea or tea bags in the filter pan.
−There is a special tea filter pan (with a
sieve) available if you want to use
loose tea.
−If you use tea bags, simply place these
in the filter pan or suspend them in the
decanter.
Note! Never use a filter pan that has been
used for making coffee. Remains of the
coffee can give the tea an unpleasant
taste.
WARNING
Some parts of the equipment will
become very hot during use.

PRECAUTIONS **
Always wear protective gloves when
using Cleaner!
1.7 Cleaning
It is important that the machine and the
accessories be kept clean. It is best to
clean the machine with a damp cloth, if
necessary with a non-abrasive and/or
corrosive detergent. The glass decanters
and the filter pan can be washed normally
and subsequently thoroughly rinsed with
water. Vacuum flasks and airpots can be
rinsed with hot water. Our Cleaner is
recommended for removing all coffee and
tea deposits.
The cleaning procedure itself is simple:
CLEANING GLASS DECANTERS AND FILTER
PAN
1. Dissolve 1 sachet of Cleaner in 5
litres of hot water (min. 80 °C).
2. Place the items to be cleaned in the
solution. For a good result, the spring
must be removed from the filter pan.
3. Leave the parts to soak (max. 30
minutes).
4. Flush the Cleaner solution away.
5. Subsequently rinse the items with a
large amount of hot water
6. Do not forget to replace the spring in
the filter pan.
CLEANING VACUUM FLASKS AND AIRPOTS
1. Dissolve Cleaner in hot water (min.
80 °C), approx. 5 g/l.
2. Fill the vacuum flask(s) and/or
airpot(s) with this Cleaner solution.
3. Leave the solution to soak for approx.
30 minutes and then flush it away.
4. Rinse the decanters several times
with hot water.

PRECAUTIONS **
•Remain in the vicinity of the machine
during all descaling activities.
•Wear gloves and face protection
during all descaling activities.
1.8 Descaling
In hard water areas chalk and limescale
will accumulate when the machine is
used. The machine is fitted with a
descale indicator that is activated if scale
deposits exceed a certain level. If this
descale indicator is activated (the
signalling lamp in the red triangle (9)
starts to flash), the scale must be
removed from the machine. Correct
operations can otherwise not be
guaranteed. When the red light starts to
flash, it is still possible to brew coffee a
couple more times. The operator can
then await until a suitable time to descale
the machine.
The descaling procedure is as follows:
1. First read the instructions and
recommendations on the sachet of
the descaling agent. We recommend
using our tried and tested Renegite
descaling agent.
2. Dissolve 100 g Renegite in 1 litre of
hot water.
3. Slide the empty filter pan (5) into the
machine and place an empty
decanter beneath it.
4. Carefully pour the Renegite solution
in the cold water reservoir (8). The lid
of the reservoir must be open during
descaling activities!
5. Switch the machine on using switch
(1). The solution will drip into the
decanter.
6. After 1 minute switch the machine off
using switch (1).
7. Wait for 2 minutes. The Renegite
solution is now given time to perform
its task.
8. After waiting for 2 minutes the
machine must be switched on again
to enable the rest of the Renegite
solution to run through.
9. When Renegite solution is no longer
dripping out of the filter pan, the
Renegite solution in the decanter can
be flushed away.
10. Subsequently, the machine must be
rinsed with fresh water by running the
normal coffee making process twice
without using any coffee. Do not
forget to empty the decanter between
each rinse.
The machine is again ready for making
coffee.
